Phil Wild did speak thusly:
Hmmm

hit a snag

how would I expand this rule to capture and convert the following?

your.host.name -> YourHostName (works with rule)
YOUR.HOST.NAME -> YourHostName (currently not handled)
Yo-ur.HOST.name -> YourHostName (currently not handled)

effectively the spec would be to take /doc/FQDN (regardless of case presented)
and capitaliseing every dot separated word returning
/doc/FullyQualifiedDomainName removing any characters other than [A-Z][a-z][0-9]
---------------- End original message. ---------------------

If I were to do something like this, I would most likely use the RewriteMap directive to pass the incoming URL to a short Perl script to do the transformation. The stdin file handle presents the program with the request URL and you pass the result back via the stdout file handle.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap

See the section on the page linked above entitled "External Rewriting Program" for details and a skeleton Perl script you can add your processing to.
